• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Both Postponed for the weather. Pompey with frozen pitch and no under soil heating and Sheff Utd for the undersoil heating failing along one side of the pitch. With the 12pm kick off meaning the area hasn’t a chance to thaw.
 
Sheffield United away is the coldest I've ever been at a football match, in the promotion season.
Supporters busses failed to get through and there were about 20 of us in the away end.
Leon played for them and they beat us 1 - 0 with a goal from the slimeball Ched Evans.
 
Not a million miles away but Doncaster Rovers for me was the coldest. Been tom-cartting the night before, and barely walked through the door around 8am when Darryl (god rest his soul) knocked on my door telling me I was going. Grabbed a not too thick coat and jumped in his car.

Absolutely frozen at the game, still gives me shivers now just thinking about it.
 
The coldest I have been was the cup final v Bradford.
Your not kidding, I arrived from a balmy 19° when I left sunny Spain, didn't get warm til I stepped off the plane back in Malaga. I did wonder why I was chugging ice cold beer on the concourse 😂
 
Hull should be fined by the EFL.
The pitch was OK but the area around it was frozen, which they knew hours before.
Game called off less than 20 minutes before kick off.
The Watford fans in the ground must be livid

Was that the Friday night game in the snow, or the one the following season when Kev Austin got sent off? Both were freezing to be fair, that open away end was not much fun!
 
Definitely a Saturday - I hadn't slept much, so not the best recalled game.
 
By far my coldest match was an FA Cup game at Oldham's Boundary Park, a bleak place at best. No idea when that was but probably early 90s when we lived in Shropshire. EDIT: Just Googled it, 20th Nov 1999
